Born-Died: 1860-1939
Creation Date: 1896
Media: *
Location: Private Collection* On Wikimedia (the source of this image) the medium is listed as "Oil on panel" which doesn't seem right at all to me. I was always under the impression that this was a lithograph. When I saw a similar Mucha poster in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, it was definitely a print of some kind and I suspect this is a print as well.
I believe this is known as a Panneaux decoratif, an innovation of Mucha's, which is a lithograph printed on heavy paper or silk.
